Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the energy consumption and exercise intensities obtained from an activity classifier obtained from a triaxial acceleration signal collected from the wrist and hip during active video games in children with ambulated Cerebral Palsy. . All 20 individuals with CP will participate in a total of 2 exercise sessions on consecutive days with 45 minutes of active video games. In two exercise season individuals will play 4 games that were previously determined and experienced for about 45 minutes. During the training sessions, exercise intensity will be evaluated with the accelerometer. The accelerometer will be placed on the dominant wrist of 20 individuals during one training session. The same 20 individuals will participate in the other exercise session and the accelerometer will be placed on the dominant side hip area of the individuals this time. Exercise intensity values obtained from 2 different training sessions will be compared. Exercise intensity will be measured by an ActiGraph wGT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer during the interventions. For both intervention sessions, a statistical comparison will made between groups in terms of energy consumption, activity counts, and active duration.
Effectiveness of Routine Physical Therapy With or Without Home Based Intensive Bimanual Training on Clinical Outcomes in Cerebral Palsy Children
Dysphagia is common problem in almost all children with cerebral palsy (CP) and there is no consensus about to dysphagia therapy modalities.We aimed to investigate the short- and long-term effects of kinesio taping (KT) on dysphagia in children with CP.
The aim of the current study is to explore the effect of virtual reality on pain in children who undergo an intrathecal pump refill compared to usual care and distraction.
This project will develop the first sensor-based mobile Pelvic Assist Device (mPAD) that can deliver precise, adaptable, pelvic control to restore natural coordination of upper- and lower-limb movements during gait in children with Cerebral Palsy
Identification of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular factors that affect the integrity and functional performance in children with cerebral palsy is very essential as it enables multidisciplinary rehabilitation team to design the proper intervention to improve functional performance and independence for those children.
This project proposes to assess if Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) assisted cycling can improve the cycling ability, muscle strength, cardiovascular health, quality of life, self perception and functional mobility of adolescents with CP better than a volitional cycling program or a non-intervention control group.
Children with Cerebral Palsy have generally limited selective motor control which affects their ability to complete functional tasks Selective Motor Control has been shown to correlate with specific characteristics of gait, however in video based observational gait analysis, the sub phases of the gait cycle, which are affected by selective motor control, has not been investigated in children with Cerebral Palsy. Therefore the aim of this study was determine the relationship between Edinburgh Visual Gait Score and Selective Motor Control of the Lower Extremity test in children with cerebral palsy. Forty-two cerebral palsy children with Gross Motor Function Classification System level I-II-III and between 4-18 ages were participated for the study. After the demographic characteristics and all assessments of the patients were recorded, the gait characteristics of children were assessed by video based observational gait analysis. According to Edinburgh Visual Gait Score, phases of gait were analyzed. Keywords: Cerebral Palsy, Selective Motor Control, Gait, Edinburgh Visual Gait Score
The use of powered mobility devices for young children with cerebral palsy (CP) has been gaining traction, with evidence that the use of powered mobility at young ages complements (rather than detracts from) other interventions focused on more traditional mobility skills such as crawling and walking. This study will collect preliminary data (both numeric and opinion/perception data) to investigate device use patterns, caregiver perceptions, and developmental outcomes of children with CP as families are introduced to two early powered mobility interventions: the Permobil® Explorer Mini, and a modified ride-on toy car.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive disturbance in the development of movement and posture that occurs in the prenatal or postnatal period, causing activity limitations. Most children and adolescents with CP experience limitations in their walking skills. Restrictions in the walking ability of children with CP are an important issue for both parents and healthcare professionals involved in their treatment. The evaluation of walking is of great importance in terms of determining the effectiveness of the physiotherapy program, shaping the program, planning orthopedic and surgical applications, and determining the effectiveness, especially in children with CP who have walking potential. In the literature, easy-to-use, valid and reliable observational gait analysis that can evaluate gait pathologies and clinical gait in children with CP are emphasized. These measurements are of great importance in clinical practice.The ability of backward walking gives the child a different task than normal, allowing the observation of body perception, trunk stability provided by anterior-posterior co-contractions, balance, correction and protective reactions.
